Memento
Sundance London has announced that they are set to screen three of the most celebrated Sundance movies of all time at the 2014 festival.
Sundance London takes place between 25-27 April at the O2, London and will host the international and UK premieres of American independent films fresh from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
Drawing on the Sundance Film Festival’s legacy of discovering filmmaking and acting talent, the films are: Memento, which launched Christopher Nolan’s directing career after its premiere at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, leading to his work directing Inception and a trilogy of Batman films;
Reservoir Dogs, which was supported by Sundance Institute during production and premiered at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, propelling Quentin Tarantino’s directing career; and Winter’s Bone, from director Debra Granik and featuring Jennifer Lawrence in one of her first film roles, before she appeared in the Hunger Games series and won an Academy Award for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook.
John Cooper, Director of Sundance Film Festival said: "Independent film is constantly evolving and looking to what’s next, and the films shown at the Sundance Film Festival during the course of our 30-year history are prime examples of that.
"Showing three of our most celebrated films at Sundance London allows us to reflect on the incredible potential of independent film to endure and to inspire countless other filmmakers for generations to come."
This will be the third Sundance London event to be held and is set to be the biggest festival yet.
Sundance London runs 25-27 April.
